Haggards' Halls ( Part I )
by Paul Berube → (All Poetry by Paul Berube)
  
Share   Print  Save   Follow   Share on Facebook

This five part series tells of a fictional place and time where men roamed and spirits now dwell. I am one of the few who has seen the Halls and has returned. Perhaps it was so I could tell the tale. Enjoy.

A castle sits in troubled lands,
protected by contested hands.
Heir of right forced to flee,
black cold hearts, rulers be.

Deep in dungeons damp and gray,
hidden well from light of day,
legions plan of their revenge,
fallen kingdom will avenge.

Evil hides among the stones,
it slithers into flesh and bones.
Blood is drawn to foil a plan,
lesson learned by mortal man.

Rout will wait another day,
good of life shall have its' say.
Thoughts remain within those walls,
Darkness lay in Haggards' Halls.

Paul, I am fascinated by Haggards' Hall - now that I have read it all. I came today to add to my library. This should be published in a worthy literary publication, as I told you.

Somehow I have missed these. Though, I have not been here as much, been crazy busy! But I am on my way to catch up with them all! Your rhyme in this is excellent, and the content engrossing!
